Default RE: 1/3 Scale Nieuport 11

OK, well great.

I'll go ahead and continue to document my progress here. However I work for the railroad with no specific schedule so updates won't come regularly.

I am in the middle the making of a third scale N-11. I am using my own plans - well, developing the plans as I build, is a more accurate statement. I would be interested in following your build.
Is this the same project that is on-going on the Aerodrome forum?
I have the fuse rough framed, both bottom wings done and the right upper wing panel almost completed.
What power are you planning on using?
Art, I'm also developing my plans as I go. As for power I'm not sure, I see a lot of G-62s in 1/3 scale WWI warbirds but I can't imagine needing that much power. I think when I get closer to finishing and have a better idea of the weight I'll be able to decide, right now I'm thinking something in the 40cc range. I have a Briggs and Straton 35cc four stroke but that might be to light on power.

Here's a look at the plans I'm doing so far.

Forgot to add the drawings.
